Glenn Beck Rips Apart ‘Madman’ Alex Jones For ‘Crazy’ Piers Morgan Rant
Mediaite ^ | 1-8-13 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 01/12/2013 9:47:01 AM PST by Mozilla

Glenn Beck spent the first fifteen minutes of his radio show today discrediting rival conservative host Alex Jones after his epic showdown last night with Piers Morgan.

Beck explains, “Piers Morgan is trying to have gun control. He is trying to make everybody who has guns and who believes in the Second Amendment to be a deterrent to an out of control government look like a madman. So now he immediately books the madman and makes him look like a conservative. He’s not a conservative.”

Of course, Beck didn’t save all of his animosity for Jones, happily dishing it out to Morgan as well. After calling them “two of the most dishonest ‘journalists’ of our age,” he went on to explain why his listeners shouldn’t trust either one of them.

Relax, Glenn....have another drink.....go sell some more subscriptions for your TV network.....just sit back one of the “few” times your on your own network (ha ha) and have a drink and guffaw uncontrollably with one of your sychophants “on-air.”

Coming from the same Glenn Beck who

- wore a bullet proof vest in DC next to Sarah Palin who didn't,
- incessently mocked the "birthers"
- is now promoting "civil disobedience" to fight gun control: let yourself be arrested and let's overwhelm the system.

FAIL.

Alex Jones .... I like his fighting spirit and attitude. He is a 911 truther and other stuff that’s wacky but I liked the way he defended the 2nd Amendment and told that Limey gun grabber to go back to England

Alex Jones has had good people on his show like Damon Vickers

Glenn should know better. This tactic did not work too well for the Jews in Germany.

I don’t trust Jones or Beck. That said, Beck has a point but I also I do like how Jones took on Morgan. The problem with Beck is that you do not back down just because the left calls you names. You just keep getting into their face.

The left does this to the right and wins. They get called all sorts of names at first but they eventually win because they don’t give up. The right should not give up now. The left anticipates the right will roll over and be cowards on this issue but we must stand and fight or we’ve lost it all.

They are correct to expect it: our "right-leaning" (read slightly less leftist, if that) Republican party does just that -- of course I'm coming to the opinion that it is very-much staged, that the Republican and Democrat parties are really the same party -- but that does not preclude them believing their own propaganda.

Beck may at times be — or at least seem — half crazy, but Alex Jones is full on, no brakes, throttle wide open crazy, with but brief moments of lucidity.

Glenn Beck is part of a complete phony religion. Look in the mirror Glenn.

Morgan needed a guest to show that the pro-gun side was off its rocker nuts. Jones was clueless enough to comply.

I'll take Shapiro's performance over Jones' any day. Shapiro changed minds, Jones made us into idiots.

I can believe you about Jones. I’m just not going to delude myself that Beck has anything to say that would interest me. I can think and do for myself.

Does this mean that Beck will no longer plagarize and steal ideas from Alex Jones anymore?

Although Jones is too much “Blame the Jews” for me...the way he went after Morgan is how you go after Liberals and their wacky ideas.

You will not win debate, influence, position, leadership, by being a Surrender Monkey like Beck...or like the other PhonyCons have on issues like taxes, 2d Amendment, Obama Eligibility, and Illegal Aliens.

You have already lost the debate if you are worried about “how liberals will think”.

Beck is a Government Stooge and agent provocateur. I knew it when he was on Fox which btw is now all in for British style gun control.

I doubt he is anti-Semitic though some of his followers are same as with Ron Paul. Jones is probably just being careful but he never utters anti-Jewish stuff. Unless you want to call him being anti-Wall Street to be anti-Jewish. I know some people use this as substitute code words for being anti-Jewish

To advance politically, conservatism needs a wide range of advocates and media venues. Just as Limbaugh, talk radio, and Fox News prompted some initial disdain from the old Bill Buckley/Firing Line/National Review crowd, so also have other conservative personalities and venues attracted disparagement at first.

The real test is whether a media conservative can find and hold an audience without going off the rails. Beck has done that, even if, at times, he seems close to getting off track.

I know conservatives with kids who prefer Beck on TV as more approachable and varied than Limbaugh. And, in one particlar instance, the result is two whip smart, ardently conservative Jewish Republican teenage girls who regularly watch Beck with their parents -- who are both lawyers.
